1.Meeting of QuincyTownship Board
of Supervisors was called to order at 8:35 am. by Chairman Gunder followed by
the Pledge of Allegiance.

2.There was no
public comment.

3.The Minutes of September
25 and October 2, 2012 were approved on a Bumbaugh/Sanders motion. Motion carried
unanimously.

4.An update was
given on the Tomstown TCE Site. The well has been drilled at Tarman Springs. It
is at a depth of 575 feet and water which could be pumped at a possible 50 to
60 GPM. It would be enough for the TCE site, but doesn’t give enough for both
the TCE Site and Furnace Road. DEP has agreed to drill a second well if the
first well yielded enough for the TCE site.
Now the monitoring will begin. Wally Koster explained that to get
permitted that monitoring will have to be done. He explained that 3 or 4 other points,
the spring wet lands and neighboring wells will need to be monitored. They will
install a pressure transducer and download it to a computer this will measure
the water level during draw down and then can develop into a permanent well. Wally
also explained the difference between a constant frequency pump and a variable
pump. Wally will conduct the pump test. Also will have to do a step test which
will determine how many GPM that DEP will permit the well for. After the step test,
the Board will be able to decide if want to drill second well. There will also
have to be a 100 foot well head protection area. The site will be monitored by
cameras for security purposes. Supervisor Sanders would like to know how long
the tests are going to take. It maybe three weeks. Wally also informed the
Board that it normally takes a year to permit a well. A Bumbaugh/Sanders motion
authorized Travis and Wally to proceed with testing and renting equipment.
Motion carried unanimously. Also will go ahead and locate a second well site.

5.The Land Purchase
agreement with Monroe Bricker will be tabled until we have the results on the
first well.

7.An agreement has
been prepared for the softener for PSL. Since taking over the water plant the
softening equipment needs repaired. PSL would like to have the softener
connected to the water they receive. A modification to our water permit was
sent to DEP to remove the Water softener, but we have not received anything
from DEP at the present. Supervisor Sanders questioned the possibility of
negotiating with PSL for looking at the future. PSL needs to pay for equipment
repair if they want the water softened. The agreement that was prepared was
approved for signing on a Bumbaugh/Gunder motion. Motion carried unanimously.

8.Private Driveway
Erosion & Paving requirement was addressed by Supervisor Bumbaugh. There is
a private drive on Monn Drive that was created through a subdivision plan for
the Andersons. The driveway was never installed and storm water management was
not installed properly since the subdivision. The subdivided lots have now been
sold. We will check to see if there is a driveway agreement recorded at the
County Court House. Then a letter will be sent to the Andersons that they will
have a limited time to correct or we will turn it over to Solicitor Lisko.

9.The time has come
to negotiate the Waynesboro Fire Contract. The Supervisors believe we will be
getting request from all the fire companies that service Quincy Township
because of the new small games of chance regulation. Before they would consider
a request for more money from the fire companies, the Supervisors would like to
see the fire company budget and actual use of the funds that they receive. A
Gunder/Bumbaugh motion approved writing letter stating they are not will to
have an increase in the 2013 subsidy. Motion carried unanimously.

10.The septic tank pumping was reviewed. The on lot
sewage systems are required to be pumped every five years. A notice is sent to
the resident with a list of licensed haulers in the Township. This year we are
receiving manifests from some haulers that have not paid their fee to haul in
the Township. Supervisor Bumbaugh would like to add a charge of $50 to each
pumping that the hauler would collect and then forward to the Township.
Supervisor Sanders believes the fee should be paid directly to the Township and
not collected by the hauler. The septic hauler would still have to pay their
fee each year, but the resident would have to pay an additional fee. It would
be an administrative fee due to DEP not funding the on lot sewage maintenance
any longer. After a brief discussion on the amount, a Bumbaugh/Sanders motion
approved amending the Township fee schedule to include a $25 administrative fee
for on lot septic system pumping to be paid to the Township each time the on
lot sewer is pump. Motion carried unanimously.

12.Eric Leaper has applied for a Land Use Permit. He is
requesting a waiver of the storm water management controls due to the large
area of property Martin & Martin has reviewed and doesn’t have a problem
with the waiver. A Bumbaugh/Sanders motion approved waiver as long as all
discharge is to the left hand side of the house and no discharge is going down
Bumpy Lane. If erosion or run off does occur, the Board will address it at that
time. Motion carried unanimously.

13.A copy of the preliminary budget was given to the
Supervisors to review.

15.Supervisor Bumbaugh discussed the David Fair situation
which the Zoning Officer has been dealing with. Mr. Fair was given an extension
on removal of items from his property until the workshop (today’s meeting). Mr.
Fair is not present. The Board decided that Mike Hansen should proceed with
what needs to be done. The Board would like a list of items on Mr. Fair’s
property and what he intends to use them for.
